1. Use of Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The service provider processes personal data on our behalf.

Google Analytics uses cookies. You can find more information about the cookies used in the cookie banner.

No IP addresses are logged or stored. The IP addresses are only used to determine location information (country, city, latitude and longitude of the city). They are deleted before data is stored in a data center or on a server. This is carried out on servers in the EU.

Log data, session data, device information and other data are used to evaluate your use of the website and to compile reports on website activity.

We only use Google Analytics with your consent. You can withdraw this at any time with effect for the future in the cookie banner.

A transfer to a third country cannot be excluded. In this regard, standard contractual clauses have been concluded and your consent obtained. Please note the above-mentioned risks associated with the transfer of your data to the USA.

 

2. Piwik Pro

We use the website analysis software of Piwik PRO GmbH, Kurfürstendamm 21, 10719 Berlin, Germany, to optimize and statistically evaluate visitor access to our website. The service provider processes personal data on our behalf.

The software is hosted in our private cloud in the EU.

A transfer to a third country cannot be excluded. In this regard, standard contractual clauses have been concluded and your consent obtained. Please note the above-mentioned risks associated with the transfer of your data to the USA.

3.Data transfer to the USA

There is no adequate level of data protection for the transfer of personal data to the USA based on a decision by the European Commission. Due to the powers of the US intelligence services and the legal situation in the USA, the requirements of the GDPR cannot be met:

  • Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) provides no limits on the surveillance activities of the intelligence community and no safeguards for non-U.S. citizens,
  • Presidential Policy Directive 28 (PPD-28) does not provide affected individuals with effective remedies against actions taken by U.S. authorities and does not provide barriers to ensuring proportionate measures,
  • the Ombudsman provided for in the Privacy Shield does not have sufficient independence from the executive branch; he cannot issue binding orders to the intelligence services.

As a result, there are no effective remedies or independent data protection review authority available for access to your personal data by U.S. authorities.

If your personal data is transferred to the USA, the loss of your own data sovereignty cannot be ruled out. As a result, the rights and freedoms of data subjects may be inadequately protected.
